What specific group of women is being referred to in this verse?

What is the significance of the ruling for elderly women regarding their attire?

Elderly women who are no longer interested in marriage are allowed to remove their outer clothing, such as a scarf or outer dress, as long as it does not reveal their private parts or show off their adornments. This is a concession to their age and lack of sexual attraction.

What does 'tabarruj' mean, and why is it important in this context?

'Tabarruj' refers to the act of women displaying or showing off their adornments in a way that attracts attention. In this context, the elderly women are allowed to remove their outer clothing but are forbidden from exposing their jewelry or making their appearance attractive to others.

Why is it emphasized that elderly women should not display their adornments, even if they are no longer attracted to marriage?

Even though elderly women may no longer have sexual desires or attract men for marriage, showing off jewelry or adornments could still cause fitnah (temptation or distraction) for men, which is why it is discouraged.

What is the alternative that is recommended for elderly women in the verse?

The verse recommends that elderly women behave modestly and, if possible, retain their outer garments for decorum. It is considered better for them to maintain their dignity by keeping their clothes on, even though they have the option to remove them.

How do the scholars interpret the concept of 'Al-Qawaid' in this verse?

Scholars interpret 'Al-Qawaid' as women who are no longer capable of menstruating or bearing children due to old age. This group is given certain allowances, like the removal of outer clothing, without breaking the norms of modesty.

What is the distinction made between elderly women and younger women regarding dress and modesty?

The distinction is that while elderly women may remove their outer garments without causing fitnah due to their lack of attraction to men, younger women must always maintain full modesty, as exposing adornments or wearing revealing clothes is strictly prohibited.
